Dying patients go without care as community nurses ‘on their knees’

Dying patients go without care as community nurses ‘on their knees’ Dying patients are going without care in their own homes because of a collapse in community nursing services, new data shared with The Independent reveals.

Across England a third of district nurses say they are now being forced to delay visits to end of life care patients because of surging demand and a lack of staff. This is up from just 2 per cent in 2015.
